Anyway lets get back on track shall we? We spent around 2 weeks in China, exploring the Great Wall, eating unusual foods and in general having a good time with friends. We first stopped at Beijing, to see the Forbidden City and gawshh it was crowded with people! I discovered that the Chinese were actually really rough... pushing and shoving in queues and being really loud when having a normal conversation occurred frequently wherever we went.
Here's a picture of the famous Mao Ze Dong

Inside the Forbidden City..
A weird tree... Biologists, comment on the name of this tree! Non-Biologists, come up with a name for this tree!
After the Forbidden City, we went to some art area. The stuff there was pretty cool :D We saw paintings, pottery, stone carvings and antiques!!
A very gorgeous lady plucking the string instrument
A turtle. That is all!
We then headed off to the Great Wall (yay). I was quite fascinated how long it was... 8851.8 kilometres!! We went inside a cable car and did some walking :) We didn't do much buuuut we still walked it ^^
In the cable car! Little Rascal in the middle ^^
Scenic view
Cherry Blossoms
Tour Guide: ALVIN!! (he had the funniest accent ^^ )
The next day we went to a food market in China, we wanted to experience/see what the locals ate at Beijing. (The weirdest stuff ever!!)
Okay, here we go... (don't throw up in disgust!) On those platters, are centipede, insides and...here we go, SHEEPS PENIS!
After touring around the polluted and crowded Beijing, we took a 4 hour bus drive to the......polluted and crowded Shanghai! From there, we met up with some good ol friends and took a lot of 'selfies'
Anyway..... those guys are super cool :) Making the atmosphere much brighter and happier. They are quite cheeky though ^^ (and if I must say, very disobedient... They just don't listen to me!)
This bugger almost saw me naked... CORRECTION... he actually saw me butt naked!
In Shanghai we did many things. Drink lots of tea (Gook Pha), got to pick some tea leaves, see very unusual plants, visited a silk worm factory and my brother got to touch a bulls ass :D

China was an awesome holiday; with lots of laughter and joy being w/ friends! It was actually quite rushed (unexpected for a 2 week holiday). My folks say that we are not in a hurry to go back any time soon :) . They had a very..... interesting experience shall we say.
Havn't blogged in ages, birthday is coming up soon (3 days). Holding a 17th birthday party, will blog about it later. Thanks for reading
